Are you re-reading the Twilight Saga with us? Come inside and discuss Twilight and New Moon!

                                                  

 

 

 

We are wrapping up the discussion on Twilight,

and beginning New Moon! 

 

 

• What made you love Twilight? What do you think it is about the book that drew people in? 
• What was your favorite part of the book? We all have those favorite scenes or lines that we just love, what was it before, and what are they after re-reading?

If you've moved on to New Moon, that's great! What are your thoughts? I'm looking forward to seeing how I feel about Edward leaving, and Jacob's and Bella's developing relationship with fresh eyes.

 

 

It's Super Bowl Sunday here in America. The Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots take on each other in the big game today. That's football for those of you outside of the United States. Nope, not soccer...football for us Americans.

Let's discuss the big game.

Who are you rooting for? Do you have any big plans for the day? Do you go to any parties or maybe you're having a party? What kind of food will you be making or eating? And feel free to share any recipes! Perhaps you'll just be having beverages? Or maybe you just are celebrating the end of football season and really don't care about the game?

Super Bowl Sunday

Earlier this week we watched Maleficent on Sky On Demand and the trailer that came on before it was for Into The Woods. My eldest two kids were instantly desperate to see it. I was thinking of taking them to see it tomorrow, but I just went onto IMDB and was met with a slew of horrific reviews, some claiming it was completely unsuitable for kids. But it's a PG. Toy Story was a PG! How bad can it be? 

I would really appreciate some advice. Has anyone seen it? What did you think? Was it awful?

It seems like the type of film I would normally like, but I don't want to waste my time or money or traumatise my kids! 

 Today's discussion: What movie would you want to star in had you the chance?  

For me I would have loved to play Jack Lemmons part in Some Like It Hot.

Come on in and discuss TV and Comics as usual. Something I discovered today:

All female ghostbusters movie?

Not sure how I feel about this...anyone wanna comment on it? Thoughts?

Diving Deep for Fan Fic Treasures
Each week I will brave the treacherous waters of Fan Fiction for buried treasure. Below are the gems I've found this week!

I apologize if my few cents on each story are lacking.  I spent a few days at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando this past weekend and my brain is overwhelmed!  It seriously was the most magical place on earth.  I even got my own wand!  Came home yesterday from sunny Florida to 6 inches of snow on my car and Blizzard Watch.  :( So, all you New Englanders, hang tight and stay warm! 

Here are some fics to snuggle up with!
Please let everyone know you found them here in the Fic Dive Campfire on ADF!
 

The Fall by MissWinkles
She's got a bulletproof heart but he's got a hollow point smile. He's a gathering storm. A spark in the darkness. A bruised heart just waiting to happen. At rock bottom, Bella Swan has nowhere to fall but everything to lose.

Bella is a struggling single mom doing her best to get by. Edward lives in her building. He helps her out of a bad situation.

Redemption of A Lost Soul by TwiAddictAnne
I was irredeemable. I was lost, and then ... she found me. A story of discovering yourself ... a story of redemption. OOC vampires, Canon couples. Edward x Bella. Rated for language and adult situations.

Edward bucks Carlisle's strict rules.  Bella will throw a wrench into his life.

One More Christmas by anhanninen
Conceding defeat was never in Bella's plans, but things change during the fight for your life. She's counting down the days but has one last wish, which Dr. Pretty Eyes plans to fulfill. With a little of his Christmas magic, Bella may just find a reason to fight again.

This one is a continuation of a Mistletoe Contest O/S.  Definite tear jerker potential, but I'm optimistic for a HEA. 

Come Back Tomorrow by Shadow Masen
Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly in the path of the best things that will ever happen to us. ExB AH

Another potential heart wrencher.  This time Edward is a terminal patient in the hospital where Bella works.  She befriends him with intention of being his friend until the literal end.

Baker's Dozen by shadowed by passion
Bella Swan is a career driven woman after having her heart severely broken by her first love. Edward Cullen walks into her life and loves what he sees in her. Can Edward prove to Bella he's different than other men? Is Edward really all that different? Or is everything a lie.

Cute story.  Bella owns a bakery and Edward becomes her favorite customer.  Quick fic that is almost complete.  Posts pretty much every day.

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:

Marley's Mother BY Pandora's Box Is Heavy
Marley was a gift to me that not everyone gets. She was my life, my everything. But a letter changed things the day it came. And now it seems that Marley may not have been theirs to give, nor mine to receive.

Edward lives through every adoptive parent's nightmare come true when his daughter's birth mother shows up.  You'll never guess who it is.  **Note sarcasm**   :)

Meet Me on the Midway by missmargo
He's a Rodeo Cowboy, and she is a local girl. Can they fall in love at the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth? Bella and Edward meet in Calgary Alberta during the Calgary Stampede...This ten-day rodeo becomes the backdrop for their love story. This Story is an Alternate Universe/All Human story.

Cowboyward!   Loved learing about the Calgary Stampede!

Thanks as always for your support and feedback for this campfire! It is a wonderful feeling to be appreciated!  Almost as wonderful as the butterbeer I drank in Diagon Alley!  :)  See you next week!

What's everyone been reading lately?

Any Fever fans get the new KMM book? Any NYers enjoying their snow day with a good book?

I'm reading Longbourn by Jo Baker and it just lovely and I thought we could talk about legit published fanfic instead of the ones that make us ragey. 

One of Twilight fanfic's legacy is the diverse and creative writing talent that has emerged within our fandom. One of these writers is the amazing M81170 who created the wonderful world of Swirl and Daisy. M81170 brilliantly writes sweet Edward and Bella's excitement of first love and their fun & tender adventures where readers can't help but adore her characters S&D. :-)

In this week's Author Spotlight, M81170 wrote a unique and funny homage to her special moments and monumental events within our Twi Fandom. The interview also includes a special tribute to Swirl and Daisy with her beta xsecretxkeeperx. We’ll miss their world but M gifted us a special PDF of S&D’s story that we can revisit over and over again.
